Gorgeous place to stay
Our stay in Seward was wonderful. The unit featured incredible views of the harbor and surrounding mountains. The kitchen/bedrooms/bathroom had everything we needed for a cozy stay. The only negative I can say is that the property manager was very vague about check-in time, and generally just not very helpful. But we had no issues after checking in and enjoyed our stay

Thank you for giving us an opportunity to explain the vague check-in time. According to our confirmation check in is after 4:00pm. This guest had asked to check in sooner. We are happy to have early check-ins, no problem. But we have more then one property. So our cleaning staff is busy moving between all properties. When a place is ready, depends on when the last guest checked out, how much cleaning needs to be done, if extra maintenance needs to be done and when the cleaners can get to that unit. As soon as they are done with a unit, a welcome sign goes up for the next guest. Our guests are welcome to check for their welcome sign and check in early if they wish. It is nice to hear that everything else met your needs. thank you,, management

Nice place to stay in Seward
We had a good stay at this property, the view out the front is amazing and it's located within easy walking distance to everything in Seward. Decorations are a bit eclectic but interesting. About the only negative was the noise from anyone above you, it sounds like a herd of elephants walking around due to the construction of the building. I'd definitely rent an upstairs room in this building on a future visit since it's so nicely located.

Spectacular view and location!
Barbara was communicative and helpful. At the last minute, we realized we hadn’t received the necessary communication from her and she got it to us within minutes. The house is charming and the location is spectacular.

OK, but wouldn't stay there again
Due to issues with Delta Airlines, we did not arrive until much later than anticipated (close to midnight), but had already received our unit assignment and login passcode. The communication I received said I had unit 1. There was a piece of paper next to the door for unit 1 said "Shelly + GY". Since my name is commonly misspelled like that (missing the 2nd "e"), I assumed that probably meant that "GY" meant something like "and guests". But the code did not work. I called Debra to ask for the code and was told they changed me to another unit (without communicating that to me in any manner) and she essentially reprimanded me for not checking every unit. Once in the unit, we found that "two queen beds + 2 twin beds with premium bedding" described in the Hotels.com advertising turned out to be 2 queen beds with OK mattresses and two murphy beds with very lumpy, uncomfortable mattresses. In addition to that, both sides of the reclining couch were broken, so they did not recline. I will say that the location was great, the place was clean, the view was amazing, the decor was fun, and the massage chair was a nice touch.

Thank you for your review. Yes, we did have to upgrade you to a different suite at no extra cost. This was done because our other guest had physical limitations and needed to be in a room on the ground floor. Second, there are instructions on the door for the coded locks. The first solution it gives if your code does not work is to make sure you are standing at the door with your name on it. Because you checked in on a different day then our other guest, we did not notice that the names were so similar. (but correctly spelled). With that in mind, the second name on the welcome sign did not belong to anyone else in her party. When Shelley called for help it was apparent that she was already very angry for the 10 minute inconvenience. After that problem was solved, she called us again to inform us she had rented a place with 4 beds, but there were only 2 in the unit. We pointed out the 2 twin Murphy beds, you could just feel her anger through the phone. After reading her review, we did lay on the murphy beds to test them and we were not able to feel any lumps, they have normal mattresses on them. Not a roll away, futon or something that was not a real bed. Up until this review, no one has ever complained about them. As far as the sofas go, they are not recliners. Because guest kept breaking the recliners we had in the past, we specifically purchased sofas that did not recline. It was apparent from the beginning that Shelley was very angry and would give us bad reviews. As Shelley said they had difficulties with their flight and it was late at night, which made her already tired and short tempered. At the time we were hoping after a good nights sleep Shelley would feel better in the morning, but apparently that was not the situation.

Did I mention the view! Amazing
4 beds, seating for 6 in kitchen, 3 recliners plus a massage chair. Full kitchen, blackout blinds. Everything we needed. When you are traveling and are together 24/7 it is nice to have some space. 2 separate bedrooms plus living/kitchen area provided each of the 3 of us some privacy.

We loved the unique personal decor! It was great to have two bedrooms and a full kitchen. Next time we stay we plan to grocery shop and cook our own meals. We did have some problems with getting the TV to work properly. We finally gave up and spent time chatting and reading.
